My husband and I will be moving to Belize in a few months and I wanted to learn more about the food and different recipes. When I saw your series on Belize cooking, I immediately began watching. What I really enjoy is that you work with the local people for the REAL food. I've learned so much and I can't wait to try these tasty dishes. My husband has to watch his sugar, so would be tweaking some of the ingredients. Thank you so much for showing the different local recipes and introducing so many wonderful people. We are so looking forward to our future home.

[@estuardomayorga8873]

loved it. I am Guatemalan living abroad but I am delighted to see how this beautiful people live and love their traditions. Belize or Guatemala we are just one. let's enjoy our unique traditions as one

[@anonymousprivet1227]

Belize is not Guatemalan. To caste them together is to appropriate the heritage of all Afri-Centric Creole, Garifuna and Mayan peoples and their descendents who established the culture of Belize that everyone is enjoying. Not the sweat of your ancestors back, Guatemala has its own claim of culture while now appropriating the culture of the Guatemalan Garifuna who the country force to live poorer than others.

[@kaisofine]

I wanted to learn how to make tamales, because my grandmother never taught me. But this looks so hard I might just buy a ticket instead.😩

[@dianeyoung9248]

Hmmm yummy I love Maja Blanca... haven't eat it in years.. 🤤

[@JayJay-yg2zw]

We speam broken english and i miss my home but going back this summer ty for making videos about it

[@MiekeDagboek]

The tamales look a lot like Ayaka's, as eaten around Christmas on the Caribbean Islands. Yummmmm!

[@victorm7118]

ow, that's so good. I think I'm going to Belize to practice my english because these people are very good.

[@billross6013]

we were trained by the Great British empire.

[@desireecoleman5075]

❤️💜💗 Sweet delicious 🇧🇿

[@elprincep582]

hello its surprising you speak English over there in that part of LAtin America. we have lots in common here in our country like in our food tamales, maja blanca, truly filipino foods. Greetings from the Philippines

[@DNaWhoot]

Tom Yum lot of Caribbean influence. Only English speaking country in central America

[@JayJay-yg2zw]

Um were not latin were Caribbean and thats broken english we speak very fast tho so u need to learn our language u mighg think its easy but its hard

[@JayJay-yg2zw]

Seriously its nit Philippines food god stop judging our country for copying u

[@anonymousprivet1227]

A lot of people do not know that the original Filipino were also Afri-Centric in appearance. Dark skin with spiraled curly 4B/C/D hair. Not the Filipino of today after invasion. The Spanish stole many people from their lands around the world. Everyone was not from the African continent.

[@anonymousprivet1227]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being excited about learning something new. Belize use to be known as British Honduras before independence. It is still watched over by the British government. That's why Belize is the only English speaking Central and South American country.

[@tanyaalvarez3795]

100% Culture!!!!

[@Maggiebze2024]

Chef Kuylen how about how to make Pipian de macabi asado?

[@edmundciego8832]

an episode on pibil would be good. how to clean the pig head and such

[@belizesuperstar]

beautiful show as usual but uh drop di ball pan di chef part mi bally...lol

[@josephinefaux8601]

Beautiful

[@gonzaloherrera1208]

My name is Gonzalo Herrera from Yucatan Mexico and i remember is MANJAR BLANCO, not Manjar Blanca.

[@neshasantana]

mexico didn't invent everything in central america. there are other countries that call similar things differently and prepare it differently. Just like mexico is the only place that calls tomato jitomate instead of tomate like most other hispanic countries. :)

[@DaniloLRZz]

Como le hacen los beliceños para hablar inglés ?

[@lydiavasquez7665]

por que esa es su lengua

[@osbaldochi2642]

Es el idioma oficial aquí en Belice por ser un país que se independizó de Inglaterra

[@sibunhill]

Love the show. Someone needs a spelling lesson in the studio. INGREDIENTS PROBYDED BY: "Brodies Logo". lol

[@eloymejia5640]

Benjamin Burn you don’t have be so harsh it’s all very obvious,be cool and enjoy the show.

[@EJGarci]

That’s the strongest Spanish accent I ever heard in my life,they should just do all the talking in Spanish

[@neshasantana]

it's not a spanish accent per se. belize is central american but considered caribbean. Belizeans mainly speak kriol, which is a broken english not too similar to patois.

[@jeffhispanidad5697]

The mother tongue of Benque Viejo del Carmen is the spanish language, most people speak it and about 60 percent of Belize's mother tongue is spanish. Viva el español!

[@rexluger1940]

Has anyone ever seen Sean eat any of that unrefrigerated undercooked food? Where did he go to culinary school? That school should have their accreditation revoked. This guy is going to get people sick if he hasn’t already.

[@bodilsoldeberg5412]

What Girlfriend?, you gay Chef Shawn, nothing wrong with that of course.

[@Estuardino71]

Guatemaltecos hablando en Inglés, cool.

[@davideddington5174]

+CARLOS MERIDA, pintor Belizeans are not Gautemalans. Belize is an independent nation. Formerly, British Honduras, the principal language of Belize is English, and a sizeable portion of the population speak Spanish. The Maya were not exclusive to Gautemala; they occupied parts of Mexico Honduras, and El Salvador. During times of political unrest, notably, during the caste wars of Mexico, many Maya groups sought refuge in Belize which was a property of the British crown. Belizean Maya have full Belizean citizenship and are accorded full rights; they even openly lobby and petition the Belize government in their own self interests.

[@mellowvision3565]

You should've ignored Carlos Merida Pintor... but i love the way you educated him... What an este???

[@suleimamejia3306]

Miss my country

[@andychuc3273]
